[Intro]
D/F# D C/E C
F C Gm Bb
Dm F G
[Verse 1]
G D Am C In the last hours of a sunset rendezvous Em D G D Chill breeze against tide that carries me from you Em D Am C Got a job in a southern city, got some lead-free in my tank Em G A5 Now I must whisper goodbye, I'm bound for the mainland
[Chorus 1]
E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 E5 Island in the city, cut by a cold sea E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 Fmaj7 D5 People moving on an ocean, groundswell of humanity
[Verse 2]
A E Bm D Now the sun breaks through rain as I climb Glen Shiel F#m E A E On the trail of those old cattlemen who drove their bargain south again F#m E Bm D And in the eyes of those five, five sisters of Kintail F#m A B5 A5 There's a wink of seduction from the mainland
[Chorus 2]
E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 E5 Island in the city, cut by a cold sea E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 Ebsus2 People moving on an ocean, groundswell of humanity Cm Ebsus2 Cm Ebsus2 F G5 Storm-lashed on the high-rise, their words are spray to the wind E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 Fmaj7 C D5 Am/D D5 Am/D Blown like silent laughter, falling on ears of tin
[Bridge]
D5 Am/D Take my heart and take my brawn D5 Take by stealth or take by storm Gm Set my brain to cruise Gm Bb I can see the glow of the suburb lights F C/G D5 I'm fresh from the out-world, singing the mainland blues Am/D D5 Am/D The mainland blues D5 Am/D There was a girl where I came from D5 Gm Seems like a long time, long time gone by Gm Bb Wears the west wind in her hair F C/G D5 She calls from the hill, yeah, she calls in my mainland blues Am/D D5 Gm Cm Ebsus2 Bb Got the mainland blues F G G/B Am Am/E G D Am C It's the mainland blues
[Verse 3]
A E Bm D There's a coast road that winds to heaven's door F#m E A E Where a fat ferry floats on muted diesel roar F#m E Bm D And there's a light on the hillside and there's a flame in her eyes F#m A B5 A5 But how cold the lights burn on the mainland
[Chorus 2]
E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 E5 Island in the city, cut by a cold sea E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 Ebsus2 People moving on an ocean, groundswell of humanity Cm Ebsus2 Cm Ebsus2 F G5 Storm-lashed on the high-rise, their words are spray to the wind E5 G5 E5 G5 A5 Fmaj7 Blown like silent laughter, falling on ears of tin Em In my mainland blues
